With its warm blue waters and red sandstone landscape, one of Utah’s newer state parks is also one of the most visited. You can boat and fish on the reservoir or explore the dunes of Sand Mountain on an off-road vehicle. After an adventure filled day, camp in one of the four campgrounds that Sand Hollow State Park has to offer. The facilities within the campgrounds offer a range from full hookup sites to dry dispersed camping to fit anyone’s needs.
Location: Sand Hollow State Park gives direct access to over 15,000 acres of perfectly sculpted dunes on Sand Mountain. You can access this favorite destination of OHV enthusiasts on the south side of the park via the tunnel that goes underneath SR-7. The reservoir which stays above 65 degrees a majority of the year offers recreational activities for water sport enthusiasts and fishermen alike. Nearby state and federal parks offer access to some of Southern Utah’s most scenic views.
Recreation: Sand Hollow State Park offers over 1,322 acres on the reservoir for boaters, paddleboarders, divers and more. Enjoy the thrill of wakeboarding or wake surfing behind a sport boat or find gentler waters around the redrock islands to test your luck (and bait type) against different species of fish. The reservoir houses largemouth bass, green sunfish, and bluegill. Sand Mountain on the south side of the park offers over 15,000 acres of off roading trails ranging from beginner trails to technically challenging feats. Test your luck and your limits on sand dunes and rock scrambles that overlook the incredible view of Sand Hollow Reservoir. If you want to bring along your four legged friends, Sand Hollow does allow dogs as long as they are always supervised and on a leash. The park is also equestrian friendly, bring your horses to enjoy the waters or beaches of Sand Hollow. If adventuring is not your style and you’re more of a lounging on vacation kind of person, enjoy our long stretch of sandy beach access and picnic tables. Depending on the time of year and water levels, test your skills at our seasonal disc-golf course. Lastly, Sand Hollow is in Hurricane UT. The name is appropriate with the consistent wind the park gets. Bring your kites or your wind foils and have a blast on the beach and in the lake!
Southwest Utah is a gem, with many people visiting time and time again. Sand Hollow State Park is a great place to set up headquarters when visiting the area. Nearby is Zion National Park, only 35 miles away. Further out but still within reach is Bryce Canyon National Park. Nearby cities include St. George and Hurricane where civilization can find you. One place you should be sure to stop is the Tuacahn Amphitheatre. Sand Hollow State Park is one of four state parks in the St. George/Hurricane area. While you are visiting, be sure to stop by Quail Creek, Snow Canyon or Gunlock State Parks. While close in proximity, each park could not be more different. From Snow Canyon’s canyon views to the waterfalls at Gunlock, there is a diverse nature among Utah’s State Parks. Since you’re in the area, it’s not too much of a gamble for you to drive out to Las Vegas; only a two hour drive from Sand Hollow. Whatever you choose to focus on during your visit here, there is something for everyone.
From Interstate 15 take the Hurricane Exit (#16). Travel east on Hwy 9 for about four miles to Sand Hollow Road and turn right. Travel south for about three miles and turn left at the park entrance.

Sand Hollow State Park has four top of the line campgrounds. The westside campground has full hookups (water, electric and sewer hookups). It is located on the northwest side of the reservoir. The newest campground in the park is located on the southeast side of the reservoir. It is the closest campground to the water. Lakeview has a combination of sites, both full hookups and partial hookups; partial hookups means water and electric with no sewer hookups. The majority of this campground is partial hookups. Closest to the action of the OHV staging area is the Sandpit campground. Sandpit offers the widest variety of sites; it also includes all of the group sites within the park. Sandpit A-E are “large group sites” and can accommodate up to 12 vehicles. Sites 1 4 7 10 11 12 13 and 15 are small group sites. Each of these sites can accommodate up to four vehicles. Sites 8, 9, 10 and 11 have electricity and water. The rest of the Sandpit campground consists of individual dry sites. The last campground at Sand Hollow State Park is the Primitive Campground. It is a dry dispersed campground. No hookups or amenities are available in the Primitive Campground. Westside, Lakeview and Sandpit allow for extra vehicles in all of the sites, with an additional cost. Primitive Campground does not allow extra vehicles in the sites. On the south side of the park there are two cottages that can be reserved. Each cottage includes a full hookup RV campsite, picnic table and fire ring. Each cottage can sleep up to six people. There is a two night minimum reservation policy. Both cottages have heating and air conditioning and other amenities that you can find online on the sand hollow state park website or under the cottages tab on Reserve America. Cottage One is pet friendly and Cottage Two is ADA accessible. Except for primitive, all of the campgrounds include showers. There are shower passes available for sale at the Visitor Center.
